There was also the matter of his French background. Rignol calls out “GPTZero’s known bias against non-native English speakers” like himself, and he argues that detectors can mistake the formal, structured prose of such writers for AI-generated text.
But it’s not just tools like GPTZero that enrage Rignol. He believes that Yale itself is against him and that the whole “sham” disciplinary process was designed to censor his “protected conservative political speech” after he advocated in courses for “smaller government, pro-business policies, and skepticism of DEI.”
What will he do next?
Americans tend to be big fans of the French, non?
was against him because he’s French
That is the perfect gif, stealing it.
And he can fuck off.
Fucque
Something about seals?
I’m not seeing the face-eating leopard aspect of this story. The essence of the “leopards ate my face” meme is not merely “someone experienced consequences,” It’s that someone actively supported, advocated for, or enabled a policy or system, and is then shocked when that same policy or system harms them.
and skepticism of DEI.
“GPTZero’s known bias against non-native English speakers” like himself
Was he admitted under some sort of DEI program? I don’t see anything suggesting that. And even if he was admitted under a DEI program, Yale didn’t kick him out because he advocated against DEI and so they rescinded it. The issue was completely unrelated to that.
Edit: Oh, I think I see what you might be going for; the claim that the AI detector is “biased” against non-native English speakers. If that’s what you meant I still think that’s extremely strained, he’s just pointing out that the mechanism is particularly unreliable under these circumstances. Like if a breathalyzer has a 2% false-positive rate normally but 15% false-positive rate for diabetics, and someone with diabetes is arrested based on a breathalyzer reading, he could argue against the evidence on that basis. It’s not asking for “special treatment.”
No, I just forgot. Dude, you definitely get your badge for the meme police. It’s not that serious.
Yay, a badge! :)
Of course, given the community I’m in, I’ll probably end up in trouble for violating some kind of regulation that comes with having a badge like that.
But caring about those circumstances enough to tailor your anti cheating software involves valuing diversity enough to want to assess nonnative speakers fairly and not in exactly the same way as every other student.
Even if he wasn’t admitted under DEI policies, having robust ones in place would have helped him (if his claim is to be believed).
Literally every rich text processor has a history mode. It’s very trivial to prove you actually wrote something if you actually did write it.
Or write another one by yourself in a controlled environment.
Even an oral exam on it would probably set the record straight immediately
lol typical conservative, everyone’s fault but his. Fuck off, loser.
His outrage is so complex. Just take the L, cheater!
AI must be getting very close to human behavior if it managed to start hating the french.
This was Trump at Wharton
